FOLLOWING upon Dr. G. G. Coulton 's series on ' England in the Middle Ages,' comes Mr. Judges' weekly series of talks on the England of Elizabeth to Anne. By the time the Tudors came to the throne, the economic structure of the Middle Ages was already undergoing certain modifications : there was a vital opposition apparent between the forces of the very old and those of the quite new. The clever administrators of Tudor Government adjusted certain of the difficulties, but scamped others. These are some of the points that will be discussed by Mr. Judges this evening. Mr. Judges is lecturer in the Department of History at the London School of Economics.

(The first Concert of the 3rd Season, 1929-30)
FRANK TITTERTON (Tenor)
The Wireless Symphony Orchestra
(Leader. S. KNEALE KELLEY)
Conducted by Percy Pitt
Relayed from THE PEOPLE'S PALACE, Mile End Road
On Mozart's first visit to Italy, when he was in bis early teens, the Pope received him in private audience and bestowed on him the order of the ' Golden Spur,' in virtue of which he became 'Cavaliere.' His father was prouder of the honour than the boy himself, and insisted on his making use of the distinction. During his second visit to Italy, when he was sixteen, he still signed himself on occasion with the title, although he dropped it soon afterwards. The autograph of this Symphony, which appeared in 1773, soon after his return home, is signed 'Signor Cavaliere Wolfgango Amadeo Mozart' - his good Austrian patronymic was evidently regarded as incapable of translation into Italian form. The Symphony, like three others which appeared at the same time, is thought to bear traces of Italian influence. but it would be easily recognised as genuine Mozart, for all that. Slight in structure, it is throughout melodious and good-humoured, instinct with much of Mozart's delicate grace. There are only three movements, a spirited Allegro, a gracious and very tuneful middle movement in slower measure, and a vigorous Allegro as conclusion.
